Title

Do objects perform?: anthrolithic performance in Chaco Canyon

Abstract

In this posthumanist performance essay, I consult Indigenous and Western ontologies to guide my fieldwork as a part of the Chaco Canyon landscape. In doing so, I test recent theories about object performance, which reveal a vibrant and vital path forward for theorizing about possibilities for conceptualizing about what and who performs in performance studies.
